Quick News

It was literally just a PR move to make them look like good guys and before lawsuits occurred.

In this instance I don't think it was. I watched the Youtube reaction to this across several big name YTers and it wasn't good. None of them liked it, nor thought it was a good idea. I think for once it was the public backlash that ended it.
 
Thanks mate. I'll try and get something up about this soon. Sadly I have been sick as a dog most of this week, which is preventing me from getting as much stuff done as usual.

Sorry to hear it. Loads of people have been sick, and I'm like, 'but it's May!' It's weird. I'm always ill in Autumn/Winter, but pretty much never ill in Spring/Summer.
 
Intel Z390 to support existing Coffee Lake S CPUs

This is the first trace of SuperMicro’s upcoming Z390 motherboard (C9Z390-CG-IW). What is particularly interesting about this leak is the fact that this motherboard was equipped with Core i7-8700T processor, the low-power 6-core CPU already available in stores. Update: we also have a proof of Z390 supporting Core i7-8700K (added below).

This means that Z390 will support both upcoming 8-core and existing 6-core 8th Gen Core CPUs. In other words, the Z390 has the same LGA1151 socket as other 300-series motherboards.

See, I know stuff about things :p
 
Add salt: NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 1180 Based On 12nm FinFET Surfaces In TechPowerUp GPU Database

I believe the "this is a placeholder" listing at the bottom of the page is telling.

If I remember correctly, they did the same with Vega way back when.

Pages like this are designed to drive clicks, using the most suitable rumoured specs that are available at the time.

I did find these specs too identical with the one and only earlier rumour - hence the add salt. Hadn't noticed the placeholder yet.
 

Dunno, mate, exactly. I just have the feeling that it's going to be a boring release. To guesstimate: it'll be slightly faster than a Titan Xp—which is just slightly faster than a 1080Ti that's overclocked—and it'll cost $700 (€750-800) while the AIB partner cards will cost €800-900. That's absurd money for what is essentially a lower TDP 1080Ti with GDDR6, a lower bit memory bus, and slightly faster performance in the same games, all for only slightly less money (and the only reason it's not the same money is because of mining and because Vega 64 can't even come close to a 1080Ti and so Nvidia never felt the need to reduce its price). And it'll be as rare as hen's teeth; miners will scalp them all even though the mining craze has shifted, and what's left over will be bought by hardcore fans and the wealthy.

Perhaps you are right - I hope not ha ha! May depend on from card you're coming. It'll do me good I'm sure.

Cool, Depending on performance vs a Titan Xp I may get an Asus Strix version or whatever they end up calling their top end air cooled card.

For me it'll be either a Strix or an EVGA, whichever is a two slot card.

You seem to know Nvidia so well... But yeah, I agree. And the thing is we all figured out quite a long time ago that a 1080Ti is more than you could ever need really. I mean yeah, at ultra detail on 4k it sometimes gets pushed but hardly any one is running 4k any way. We just don't need the power for the games we have right now.
